Chapter 697: Millennial Tribulation, Ghost Clan Rumors

this spiritual flame, although still incredibly powerful, was controlled by Ye Qian Xin's lotus avatar far less effectively than before.“Judging by the appearance, this newly gathered spirit flame ha...Lu Xiaotian nodded and turned to leave with Tuo Ba Chongxiao.

"Awoo!" Seeing Lu XiaTian about to leave, Di Kun seemed to sense something, struggling with all his might to break out again.

The dragon, lion, and giant beast's twin eyes emitted a beam of light that tightly enveloped Emperor Kun. No matter how Emperor Kun struggled, his situation remained unchanged. Perhaps sensing Emperor Kun's fury, the crimson, eerie glow softened somewhat. Emperor Kun charged forward again, but the beam of light continued to envelop him, never leaving his side.

"Go, this is your destiny. Only here do you have a greater chance of advancement."

Lu Xiaitian patted Di Kun's forehead, feeling a tinge of sadness in his heart. The Nascent Soul Stage was too dangerous, and he couldn't even guarantee his own safety, let alone spare the energy to help Di Kun cross the tribulation. He wasn't even sure what Di Kun needed to survive the Transmutation Tribulation, even if he was unwilling, keeping Di Kun by his side was undoubtedly not a wise choice.

Di Kun shook his head and bit onto Lu Xia Tian's clothes, unwilling to let him leave just like that.

“You have your own path to walk, and I have mine. All good things must come to an end, but when you advance in rank later on, we might have a chance to meet again.” Lu Xiaoteng's sorrowful eyes hardened once more.

The awakened dragon-lion behemoth, seeing the scene between Di Kun and Lu Xia Tian, revealed a thoughtful gleam in its crimson eyes. The radiance enveloping Di Kun spread towards Lu Xia Tian, but excluded Tuo Ba Chongxiao.Lu Xia Tian was startled, but this red light appeared soft and powerless. He slightly moved, but found his body seemed to lose control, and could only watch helplessly as the red light continuously drilled into him.

Unable to resist, Lu Xia Tian accepted reality. According to Tuo Ba Chongxiao, this Dragon Lion was already powerful at the late Nascent Soul stage. Even if it was just a remnant consciousness, if it truly wanted to do something to him, he would be powerless to stop it.

But as the red light drilled into his body, Lu Xia Tian felt a strange energy entering his body. In the blink of an eye, Lu Xia Tian's primordial spirit could feel that inside his body, there was an extra spherical crimson bead, about the size of a pigeon egg. A faint breath slowly emanated from the bead, absorbed by his body. He felt that after his flesh absorbed this energy, it seemed to have become stronger by a sliver.

Lu Xia Tian couldn't help but be delighted. Reaching this level of strength, improvement wasn't easy. It required time and continuous accumulation. Even if he practiced every day, it was impossible to feel his body strengthening at a visible speed. This dragon and lion could actually split a portion of its energy into his body. Such a method was indeed inconceivable.

Just as Lu Xia Tian was surprised and bewildered, the light emanating from the dragon and lion's eyes had already shifted away.

“Awoooo” Finally, Di Kun watched Lu Xiaottian’s departure, raising his head and roaring incessantly, as if singing a farewell lament.

Lu Xia Tian waved his hand, feeling a pang of reluctance in his heart. He ultimately left the secret cave with Tuoba Chongxiao.

"I didn't expect you to actually gain the favor of the Dragon and Lion. Congratulations," Tuo Ba Chongxiao said to Lu Xiaodao after returning to the big tent. "Throughout the history of our Giant Stone clan, there have only been a handful who received such treatment."

"What's the benefit" Although Lu Xia Tian felt something, since there was Tuoba Chongxiao, a master who knew the inside story, he naturally wouldn't be ashamed to ask.

"My clan, the Jieshi Clan, are skilled in close combat. Dikun is our sacred beast. The favors bestowed upon me naturally relate to this aspect. Looking back at our clan history, those who have been looked after by the Dragon and Lion have at least become elders. Of course, this also requires your own efforts. However, your cultivation should be able to improve again in the future, especially your physical strength. It depends on the situation, but at least improving one realm is not difficult." Tuoba Chongxiao said.

Lu Xia Tian's heart was filled with joy. He had only just broken through to the seventh level of Body Refinement not long ago, having only a few years of experience. Although his cultivation in the Star Falling Cave allowed him to make rapid progress in Body Refinement, there was still some distance to becoming an eighth-level Body Refiner. If he could be promoted to the eighth level, it would naturally be a gain. At his current level, every increase in strength was extremely difficult.

“I was originally planning to give you some other compensation, but since the Dragon and Lion have already been given, my clan is facing a millennium crisis, resources are also very tight, so I won't be able to give you any further rewards for now.” Tuoba Chongxiao smiled again.

"By the way, what's the story behind this thousand-year tribulation you guys were talking about" Lu Xia Tian asked.

“It is a calamity that may last for a thousand years. In the entire cultivation world, there are numerous existing races: human race, demon birds, demon beasts, ghost race, and even some rare races. Among them, the ghost race is one of the most powerful.”

Throughout immortal history, the Ghost race has experienced several major upheavals. Although they were all suppressed by ancient cultivators, they were merely sealed away by those formidable cultivators of antiquity within independent spaces. In the cultivation world, there is not only the Chiyan Continent, the Nanmo Sea Region, or other continents. In fact, there are also some hidden spaces that seal away terrifying ancient demons or creatures like the Ghost race.

“These spaces may be connected to a certain continent through special passages. My family, the Tubao, Tubachi, and Tuqing clans, are just one branch of the Giant Stone Clan. We originally didn't live here but were forced to by our ancestors during the war with the Ghost Tribe. They sealed the Ghost Tribe here, and this place is a key node for suppressing them. Our Giant Stone Clan lives here to guard this place and prevent the Ghost Tribe from breaking out. If it weren't for the passage of time causing the spatial node to loosen, you outsiders wouldn't be able to enter so easily.”

This is just a simple example of using HTML tags.

“Every time the Ghost Clan breaks through the seal, it's unknown what kind of disaster it will bring to the Xianxia Realm. The duration could be as long as a thousand years, which is why it's called the Millennium Calamity. My Shishi Clan is only responsible for guarding this place. In fact, the Xianxia Realm is vast and there may be other places where the Ghost Clan breaks through the seal. This might be the biggest catastrophe the Xianxia Realm has faced in tens of thousands of years. It’s unknown how many people will fall in this epic battle.” Tuoba Chongxiao sighed wistfully.

"It seems like quite the stroke of luck." Lu Xiaotian was startled by this revelation, never expecting to hear such insider information. As for the thousand-year tribulation mentioned by Tuo Ba Chongxiao, Lu Xiaotian had never experienced it, so he didn't feel much about it. Cultivators fought against heaven, earth, and people. A slight misstep could lead to their demise, dying at the hands of a person or a ghost was essentially no different.
